Twelve Companies of National Guard
en Duty.?Estimates on Number
Killed During Day of Rioting Run as
High as 250.
East St. Louis, 111.?An estimate of
the dead in the race riot and fire ranged
from fifteen to seventy-five, of
whom two were white men.
Buildings were still burning at four
different points in the city.
The property loss was estimated by
City Attorney Fekete at $3,000,000.
Forty injured negroes and six injurwhite
men in one hospital and almost
a equal number in another.
Oolonel Tripp, assistant adjutant
eeneral. stated shortly before mid igbt
that the rioting crowds had for
the most part dispersed.
At least fifteen negroes were shot
xnd killed by mobs here as they fled
from their burning homes which had
een set on fire by white mobs. The
exact number who perished in the
harning houses, if any, is unknown,
and will not be ascertained until the
rains are searched.
Military rule was proclamed and at
Ike same time 300 white men were ar
rested and locked up at police headfuarters.
Negro quarters in various
parts of the city are on fire and the
dames recah the very edge of the
kusiness district.
Estimates of the number of negroes
who perished in the fire ran as high
as 100, but there was nothing authentic
on which to base these estimates
escept that hundreds of whites stood
around the edges of the burning districts
and fired at the negroes as they
fled from their homes.
State's Attorney Schaumloeffel, of
St. Clair county, drove through the
riot-swept district with Police Inspector
Walsh, of St. Louis, Mo. The
state's attorney estimated that the
dead negroes would number 250. All
estimates, however, are conjectural.
The mayor of East St. Louis sent
for Fire Chief Swingley of St. Louis,
Mo., to assist in fighting the flames,
which threatened to destroy a large
part of the city. A company of the
St. Louis fire department started to
East St. Louis but was ordered back
by Chief Swingley.

Kerensky in person.
Ftor the last four days the war minister
has been continuously at the
front, spending every effort to urge
the troops to advance. He finally
rode to the front line trenches and
placing himself at the head of the
troops gave the order to advance.
The spectacle of the popular war
minister on the firing line accomplished
what oratory had failed to
do and the Russian line swept forward

Washington.?Secret investigation
hy government agents has disclosed
the existence of a conspiracy to destroy
or hinder shipping on the Great
Lakes and thereby delay the organiation
of American war armies and
check the flow of food and munitions
material from the west to the east.
No conspirators have been captured
and the identity of none has been
made public, but state, navy and justice
departments are co-operating to

YOUNG EMPEROR IN
PALACE OF PRESIDENT.
Tien Tsin.?Hsuan Tung, the young
emperor, acording to reports from
Peking, has taken possesion of the palace
occupied by President Li Yuan
Hang and is surrounded by prominent
military leaders. A demand was.made
opon President Li that he resign in
favor of Hsun Tung. The president
replied that he would resign in favor
of the vice president, as he was unable
to resign in favor of the emperor.
GREEK DESTROYER LOST
IN MEDITERRANEAN SEA.
Paris.?The Greek destroyer Doxa,
manned by French officers and crew
has been blown up in the Mediterranean
sea. Twenty-nine men including
all the officers, were lost. The official
announcement of the Doxa says
that the destroyer sang as the result of
a double explosion on June 28. The
Dora was then within one hundred
yards of a merchant vesel which she
was convoying.
EXPLOITATION OF WAR

by the federal grand jury after an investigation
of several weeks. The
Elgin board of trade where are fixed
butter prices taken as standard
throughout the country, received spe
ctal attention from the grand jury
which pointed out tha? the board holds
anly a 15 minute session each week.
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
ASSUME OFFENSIVE
TROOPS OF NEW RUSSIA LAUNCH
ATTACK ON EXTENSIVE
SCALE.
! STORM GERMAN POSITIONS
_______
Berlin Admits That Attacks Were
Powerful Along Whole EighteenMile
Front?British Are Meeting
With Successes in West.
The soldiers of new Russia have
assumed the aggressive. For the first
time since the revolution last March
| Russian troops have begun an attack
on an extensive scale.
Along a region of eigheen and onehalf
miles in the region of Brzezany,
Galicia, Russian troops have stormed
the German positions. Berlin says
the Russians suffered heavy losses and
were compelled to retire before the
German fire. The attack was made
between the upper Stripa and the
Narayuvka river, a tributary of the
Gnila Lipa, in the section southeast
of Lemberg, the Gallician capital,
where the artillery firing has been
heavy recently.
The Russians also made night attacks
on both sides of Brzezany and
near Zwyzyn, and Berlin reports that
assaults between the Zlota Lipa and
the Narayuvka have brought on new
*k A AnnAO In fT O Q
, uaiuca uccr*ecu iuc vj/^uoutt}
The artillery arm of the Russian
forces has again been active, and from
the Berlin report it is learned that an
intensive duel has been in progress in
the region of Brzezany to as far
northward as the Middle Stokhod in
Volhynia, distance of about 175 miles.
Berlin declares that the Russian
attacks, which it says were powerful,
were brought about through the
pressure of the leading entente powers,
the text of the official statement
saying:
j "The Russian government having
been constrained to yield to the presI
sure of the leading entente powers,
part of the army has been introduced
to attack."
J The region of the Narayuvka and
Upper Stripa rivers has been the
scene of much bitter fighting since
j General Brussiloff ended his victorious
campaign last year, and Brzezany Is
one of the keys of Lemburg.
Field Marshall Haig continues to
tighten his grip on Lens. On the
north bank of the River Souche2,
British troops have captured German
positions on a front of about half a
mile southwest and west of Lens. The
British -army during June captured
8,686 German prisoners, including 175
: officers and sixty-seven men, including
two heavy guns, as well as much
j other war material.
i FobMBKrAALS may*BE
SUPPLY GERMANY FOOD.
Which is Replaced With Imports
Brought From America.
Washington.?Evidence that Germany
is obtaining vast quantities of
food from the European neutral countries
has been presented to the United
States by Great Britain for the American
government's guidance in determing
an export policy. Much of
this, the British statistics purport to
show, is replaced by the neutrals with
imports from America.
From Scandinavia and Holland, the
information sets forth, enough fat is
going into Germany to supply 7,700,000
soldiers, virtually the entire army
of effectives in the i mpire. German
imports from these countries, it is
declared, ..reduced to calories will
equal the total ration of 2,500,000
troops, the size of the German army in
the west.
German purchases of foodstuffs
abroad are made through the government
department of the interior,
which has organized a special division
to buy from the neutrals. In the
early days of the war, the German
government stimulated importation of
food by excluding imports from operation
of maximum price laws. 1
this drew such a vigorous protest from
German producers the practice was
stopped.
AMERICAN HELP IS REALLY
VERY GREAT.
Zurich, Switzerland.?Referring to
th? arrival of American troops on
French soil, the military critic of The
Frankfurter Zeitung says Germany
must not overlook the fact that American
help is really very great, though
it will come only by degrees. Under
these conditions, he says, if France
is obliged to restrict her military activities;
it will signify no strengthening
of the German situation.
MANY ARE KILLED WHEN
CAR PLUNGES INTO RIVER.
Niagara Falls. N. Y.?A belt line car
on the great Gorge route left the

embankment and turned over in ten

Whirlpool rapids. Nine persons are
known to be dead, two persons known
to have been on the car have not
been seen since the accident and
probably are dead, an indefinite nura;

DENY ANY INCREASE
IN FREIGHT RATES
APPLICATION OF RAILROADS FOR
FREIGHT RATE INCREASE
DENIED.
SUSPENDED UNTIL OCT. 28
Order Says No Conditions of Emer?
gency Exist as to Western * and
Southern Roads to Justify Upward
Revision of Rates.
Washington.?The Interstate Commerce
Commission suspended until
October 28, ,1917, the proposed fifteen
per cent increase in freight rates.
The commission, in announcing the
decision said:
"We are led to the conclusion that
no condition of emergency exists as to
the western and southern carriers,
which would justify permitting a general
increase in their rates to become
effective.
"In. the eastern districts, increased
rates have recently been permitted to
become effective, generally on bituminous
coal, coke and iron ore. We
think that similar increases may be
jiermitted in the southern district on
! coal, coke ana iron ore.
"In the southern district, the pfo|
posed increased rates on coal are on
; the basis of fifteen per cent, with a
maximum of fifteen cents a ton.
These tariffs we shall permit to become
effective.
"In the western district, the in1
creases are based upon fifteen per
cent with a minimum of fifteen cents
, per ton. These tariffs will be suspended,
but the western carriers may,
| if they so elect, file new tariffs carryI
ing increases in rates on coal and
' coke not exceeding in any case fifteen
cents per ton.
"All of the tariffs included in this
percentage of the western lines will
be suspended. All of the tariffs included
in this percentage of the southern
carriers will be suspended excepting
those applying on coal, coke and
iron ore."
The commission, in its decision, declared
its willingness to meet any situation
which may arise in case the
fear of the railroads of heavily decreased
incomes are realized.
GREECE BREAKS OFF
RELATIONS WITH GERMANY.
State of War N Considered to
Exist.
Athens.?The Greek ^government ha3
broken diplomatic relations with Germany,
Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and
Turkey.
Though war has not yet been declared.
the Greek government considers'
tha^ estate ofpvar exists
its advent to power.' The recaii^)^
the Greek diplomatic representatives
accredited to the central powers and
their allies is imminent.
Greece's new course with regard to
the war began to be shaped on June
12 with the abdication of King Constantine
and the accession of Alexander,
his second son, as king. The
abdication was in effect a dethronement
of Constantine, whose pro-German
attitude had given the entente
endless trouble and threatened not
only the success of the Saloniki expedition,
but its safety through danger
of backfire from a hostile Greek military
force.
Eliptherios Venizelos, Greece's leading
statesman and fast friend of the
entente, soon appeared as the man to
take the leadership in guiding Greece
j to her traditional place by the side
of England, France and Serbia, the
last her close ally whom she had abandoned
under Constantine's coerion in
Serbia's hour of greatest need.
Summoned back to the premiership
by King Alexander, Venizelos quickly
1 formed a cabinet. The reactionary
! elements have been ousted or quieted,
and the re-establishment of Greek
constituoinal government, virtually
abolished by Constantine, began.
That the parliaent of May, 1915, which
had been dissolved by Constantine,
would again be sumoned to meet was
j later indicated, giving a legislative

Washington.?President Wilson has
lent to Congress a recommendation by
Secretary Daniels for appropriation,of
52.200.000 for additonal emergency
: hospitals. Temporary hospitals are
nearnig completion at Portsmouth, N.
H.; Philadelphia. Newport, Norfolk,

Confinement of prohibition leg'

II >ur hundred operators who gather- '
ed I ere at a call from Secretary Lane, !
pledged themselves to furnish their i
product by committees from each field.
E&pier in the day, they had agreed to !
place the price-fixing in the hands of '
the/ government, through the defense 1
council's coal production committee, j
Secretary. Lane and Commissioner j
For^, of the federal trade commission, !
thui avoiding the possibility of violat- ,
inglthe anti-trust laws.
Director Smith of the geological
surrey, estimated that the reduced
prices would mean that the operators
would get $180,000,000 less annually
for .'their output.
In addition to placing prices upon*'
coal at the mines it was announced i
that jobbers, brokers, retailers and !
commission men would be permitted
to charge commissions of not more I
than twenty-five cents a ton and that '
no more than one commission should
be charged. In other words, the consumer
will get his coal at the mine
plus transportation charges and
twenty-five cents per ton.
The agreement does not affect anthracite,
and the coal production com- ;
mittee announced that action on that
problem had been postponed until :
after July 1 by apreement with the 1
operators. The anthracite producers
have indicated willingness to meet the
government in the same spirit manifested
by the bituminous men.

Although no announcement has
be^n made as to whether the South
American republic will actualy enter
lntb hositilities by its revocation of
neutrality, it definitely aligns itself i
morally on the side of the United
States and the entente.
The Canadians, men from all parts j
cf the dominion, have taken another
hack at the German lines protecting
LePB, the coal center in the Department
of Pas de Calais and have been i
rewarded with another encroachment
upon their objective.
Striking on a two-mile front south
of tens, the Canadians, protected by
effective curtain fires, stormed and
captured German first line positions
before Avion and also the village of
Leauvette. They defeated in their onslaughts
men of the crack Prussian
gua^d and the fifth grenadier guards, 1
whijse machine gun and rifle fire and
the'fact that the attacking force had J
to cut through wire entanglements
could not stay them.
When the battle ended and the Canadians
began their work of consoli

had been extended to within one mile 1

under such tenacious assaults as have
been made recently seemingly cannot

Thousands of Regulars and Marines
Have Crossed the Atlantic and Take

Washington.?The advance guard of
the mighty army the United States is
preparing to send against Germany is
on French soil.
In defiance of the German submarines,
thousands of seasoned regulars
and marines, trained fighting
men, with the tan of long service on
the Mexican border, or Haiti or Santo
Domingo still on their faces, have
been hastened over -seas to fight beside
the French, the British, the Belgian,
the Russian, the Portuguese and
the Italian troops on the western front.
News of the safe arrival of the troops
sent a new thrill through Washington.
No formal announcement came from
the war department. None will come,
probably, until Major General Pershing's
official report has been received.
Then there may- be a statement as to
the numbers and composition of the
advance guard.
Press dispatches from France, pre
sumably sent forward with the approval
of General Pershing's staff,
show that Major General Sibert, one
of the new major generals of the army,
has been given command of the first
force sent abroad, under General
Pershing as commander-in-chief of the
expedition.
EXEMPTIONS TO BE LEFT
WITH LOCAL BOARDS.
Government Will Rigidly Adhere to
That Policy.
Washington.?Rigid adherence to
the policy laid down in the national
army selective draft law, of placing
the question of exemptions in the
hands of local boards, is expected to
characterize the exemption regulations
to be made public by the war
department in a few days.
It is understood that the regulations
will map out only the general procedure
of the boards, the personnel
of which already has been announced.
It is regarded as certain that no specific
class exemptions will be provided
for, and that each man will be appraised
on his individual occupation
and physical capacity when his name
is called and he is summoned before
the local boards.
Crippled or defective persons among
those who were registered were notat
the>time, and it kia possible they
already have been dropped from the
rolls. The judgment of the civilian
doctors who are attached to local exemption
boards as to the ability of
any individual to bear the hardships
of a soldier's life will be a determin
Ing factor.
Married men will not be exempted
as a class. In each case the object
of the board will be whether dependency
of wife, children or other
relatives upon any man is so complete
as to warrant his rejection as
a soldier.
SENATORS WRITE DRASTIC
POWERS INTO FOOD BILL
Washington.?Food control legislation
assumed new and more drastic
form when the Senate agriculture committee
virtually re-drafted many of
the principal features of the House
measure and reported it with material
extensions of government power
and a new "bone dry" prohibition provision
to stop manufacture of intoxicating
beverages during the war. The
president would be authorized to permit
wine making and to commander
existing distilled spirits.
The amended bill was presented to
the Senate by Senator Chamberlain.
He moved to have it substituted for
the draft the Senate has been debating
and proceed with all expedition to
ward fln$l action.
The new prohibition plan, all leaders
admitted, greatly complicates the
situation and precludes enactment of
the legislation by July 1.
In extending the scope of the legislation,
and the President's powers, the
committee adopted amendments which
would provide for government control,
in addition to food, feeds and fuel, of
iron, steel, copper, lead and their products,
lumber and timber, petroleum
and its products, farm implements and
machinery, fertilizers and binding
twine materials.
Other important amendments approved
would authorize the government
to take over and operate factories,
packing houses, oil wells and
mines, regulating wages of their employes
and to commandeer supplies
of any and every kind when needed
for the army and navy "or a-?y other
public use connected with the public
denfense." Another would empower
government to buy and sell, for general
civilian purposes, food, feeds and fuel,
with limitations upon the general legislation
making it apply to agencies
and products ony in interstate or foreign
commerce.
Fayettevlle Gets Cantonment.
Washington, D. C.?Fayetteville is
awarded the training camp allotted to
North Carolina after an examination
by representatives ot ttie war department
into various places proposed in
the state. Charlotte is understood to
have been second choice. Representative
Godwin said he expected over
20,000 troops from North Carolina and
parts of South Carolina to be sent to
Fayetteville for training when the selective
draft is made. The government
will spend at least $50,000 a day in
the upkeep.

A Weekly Bullet;
In the years that the South Care-1
Una Bureau of Marketing has been I
operated there have only been five com- i
pliants as to the quality of products '
and as to misrepresentations by sellers,
which is a remarkable record.
The Bureau at the outset and continually
since has warned all that any
transaction not clean and honest
meant the closing of the Bureau to
the parties so abusing the privilege,
and warning has also been repeatedly
given that the Bureau could not assume
responsibility for any transaction.
i These warnings are again sounded.
This week 9 sixth complaint came In
the following form, it is needless to
say that the names of the parties conj
cerned have been dropped from the
Bureau's lists, and that such other
action as is possible will be taken:
the letter is printed in full for this is

from the operation of the State Seed

provement might be made, namely irresponsible
parties offering questionable

the market bulletin affords.
"As to ho* this can be done, I can

"My loss from this source has been
considerable this season, also a neighbor

both of us buying through the Weekly

"But on the whole the 'Market' is
such a.grand thing that it seems a
plfy to find a fly in the ointment."
Another farmer writes, by way of
contrast, as follows:
I am sending my bull to Mayesville
today to load for Chesterfield. Have
bought a ram and Collie pup, and sold
several lambs through your Bureau,
and all the peas I had to offer. One
shipment of peas went to Elkton, Fla,,
